    "It was a tough choice, but we finally decided that even if someone has pirated copy of Windows, it is more important to keep him safe than it is to be concerned about the revenue issue,"

    Alright thats it now ive seen it all. Microsoft citing the security of its users as more important than revenue...........:eek: WOW
    Firewall will no longer go away quietly if ignored, and will continue to pester users to download new patches periodically.

    Oh great :(
